Poetry Contest

A sensual dark erotic poem.
A sensual erotic dark poem, using "Haunting capricious shadow," as the first line. Something that one's ancient grandmother could read and not be embarrassed. No more than 20 lines.  

Haunting capricious shadow
a silence grandeur to adore
of darkness half-strangled
kneeling at naked shores
with love's restrained
and a theatrical footprint  
beneath my door
as my quill deploys as before
a silence grandeur to adore

long shadows dreaming

 
haunting capricious shadow
so slowly in the cloudy night
darkly spinning around my head
swimming in my darkest fluids

medusa looking at me
turning my sweat into smoke
giving me the certainty of blood
in my labyrinthic body

my monsters growling inside
my monsters laughing at me
my monsters float in oblivion
haunting capricious shadow

Haunting Capricious Shadow

Haunting capricious shadow in twilight's warm embrace,
An enigma, enshrouded, a spectral wisp's sweet grace,
It wavers and dances in the moon's softest glow,
A whimsical spirit, where secrets might flow, yo.

In them corners it lingers, a ghostly refrain,
A sigh in the silence, a cryptic domain,
Then, fleet as the wind, to the night it will go,
A spectre of wonders, its stories to sow.

The unknown it whispers, in shadows it weaves,
A tapestry woven of secrets it conceives,
In them eaves, its mysteries silently grow,
This haunting, capricious shadow we've come to know.

In the silence, it veils the world in its shades,
With an aura of mystique, and surreal parades,
A riddle in twilight's cascading flow,
A phantom's ballet, an enchanting show.

In the moon's gentle beams, its magic takes flight,
A dance of the paradox, a whimsical sprite,
This haunting, capricious shadow aglow,
Leaves a sense of wonder in the night's gentle throw.

Pleasure Principle Deranged

 
Haunting capricious shadow
Writhes slowly across the floor
With a seductive alluring air
An impulsive call to explore

In a whim one is sure to sin
Amidst dim and nude tones
Draped in sensual stimulation
Bound to shake up the bones

Delving into the temptation
The elation is intensely strange
Like a beautiful blissful agony
A pleasure principle deranged

This taunting and vicious passion
Knows exactly what’s in the heart
A dark fantasy comes alive
As mind and body come apart
      
Lost in the obscurity of it all
The feeling also feels so tender
When in the stillness of the night
All you can do is just surrender

No return

Haunting capricious shadow,    
we fall through the dark weave        
of our fire side,      
intoxicated by plump aromas      
smeared as a balm      
that tasted of our trembles.      
       
Each ripe movement devoured        
by a hunger born in its truest form      
where primitive scent    
is tongue traced,        
pressed beneath the weight      
of the underworld.

In The Darkness

Haunting capricious shadow
slowly flying through the room
in the darkness of the night
in the shadows it does loom.
 
Watching her as she sleeps
deciding when to make its move
gently hovering over her body
softly touching her every groove.
 
Settling down upon her
kissing her soft pink lips
hearing a contented sigh
a slow rise from upon her hips.
 
Haunting capricious shadow
slowly flying across the room
back into the shadows
in the darkness it does loom.

Shadow Work

Haunting capricious shadow
Guardian of the
Dark side of my soul
Magically attractive
Gloomy and deterrent
 
Mighty old trees catch my eye
Rustling leaves whisper softly  
Join us! Underneath our crowns
Your demons can play
Wild and naughty games!
 
Feeling uneasy I turn away  
And spot a cave amidst
A bizarre rock formation
Sweet seductive voices  
Tempt to  draw me into its depth
 
Come closer! Explore wet stalactites
And mysterious passingways
Leading deep into the womb of Mother Earth
I cover my ears with fright
And hear my soul's calling
 
Your innermost being is full of love
Caring compassionate tender
Craving moaning sweaty
Love in all its manifestations
Veiled in haunting capricious shadow

joy from unknown shadow...

A haunting capricious shadow is troubling me
making saffron marks on my body,  
applying mud stolen from the pond  
on my boobs.  
he is biting my lips
I am forced to move  
my fingers in the cave
he is Pulling my messy hair
scratching my thighs again n again
He is caressing my nest of love  
with lotus petals
he is filling my navel  
with drops of his sweat
drowning in my eyes
sobs fiercely  n  
releasing sticky substance...

Wow, I just came back to check on this and place a vote for one of the other poems, but it was already closed. I'm really surprised my poem won. Thanks to everyone that voted for it!
